Video game hobbyists spend thousands of hours a year in the digital world. Modern games give their players the option to create custom characters and worlds, limited only by the players’ imagination. Yet currently gamers are left with only time-consuming, complicated options to turn these custom creations into physical models.

While game developers see the opportunity to merchandise their digital content, they neither have the expertise nor time to create the necessary software or supply chain to meet their players’ desires. Eucl3D bridges the gap between the digital and physical.

By providing developers with a plug-in store that integrates directly into their game, we allow players to purchase any in-game content (characters, architecture, environments, etc.) to be 3D printed and shipped to their homes. Gamers get to experience their creations in real life, while developers profit from selling this custom merchandise.
